Some schools train(or used to) against the clock back to holster, I don't know why.
Of course everything is a compromise but I can't think of many good reasons to reholster as fast as I can, vs the increased likelihood of a person shooting themself as the try to jam their gun back into the holster.
I was trained, as someone here already suggested, rotate the hips and point the gun forward as it is slowly reholstered. If done properly, the muzzle is never pointed at flesh. It works for me, and I am comfortable with the level of safety. Once back in the holster, it's safe.
